Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in New Zealand accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in New Zealand and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"New Zealand is a diverse country with people from many different backgrounds and cultures. The country is known for its acceptance of differences, and its people are generally welcoming and tolerant of different cultures, religions, and lifestyles. New Zealand has a strong commitment to multiculturalism and diversity, and the government has taken steps to ensure that all citizens are treated equally and with respect," remarked another expat in New Zealand.
"There are a surprising number of UK and US immigrants here in addition to the Maori and kiwis of European descent. The latter makes up about 90% of the population according to the latest census info online. Although they generally don't agree with American policy, they can separate individuals from the nation as a whole. People are straight forward and usually friendly. There's a lot of religious tolerance, and the small "religious right" here has less of an impact on mainstream opinion," said a member in Kapiti Coast , New Zealand.
